Ensalces

Ensalces is not a recognized taxonomic name in modern biology. There is no genus, species, or higher taxon with the spelling ensalces listed in major resources such as ITIS, Catalogue of Life, or GBIF. The term may appear in non-scientific contexts, as a misspelling of another name, or as a local or vernacular designation rather than a formal scientific name. Because of this lack of formal standing, ensalces has no accepted diagnostic characteristics or geographic range in the scientific literature.

When encountered in text, ensalces is commonly clarified as either a typographical error or a confusion with a similar term. The closest widely recognized name is Alces, the genus that contains the moose. The species most commonly referenced is Alces alces, the moose, also called the Eurasian elk in some regions, a large ungulate native to boreal forests of North America and Eurasia. Moose are characterized by a large body, long legs, a broad, drooping snout, and, in males, palmately branched antlers. They are primarily browsers and tend to inhabit wetlands and forest edges, often avoiding densely populated areas.

In summary, ensalces does not correspond to a recognized animal taxon, and its appearance in any text should be treated as a potential misspelling or non-scientific usage. See also Alces, Moose.
